Although Rodgers is expected to be fielding an offer that includes a $21 million annual salary, the website reports the sides are about $2 million apart. As for guaranteed money, as the 2011 NFL MVP and Super Bowl XLV MVP, Rodgers should be looking at close to $60 million, given the Ravens' Joe Flacco ($52 million) and the Cowboys' Tony Romo ($55 million) hit that range without the same credentials.

Romo averages $18 million per season, and Flacco trumps him with $20.6 based on the six-year deals those quarterbacks just signed. Rodgers should get at least that long on his deal and overall should become the highest-paid player in league history.
